PROPERTY
This wonderful family home is situated in the highly sought after and desirable Montreal Park, a development of detached properties positioned a short walk from Sevenoaks mainline station.

The house was built in the late 1950s and offers plenty of internal space with a bright and airy feel thanks to a large array of windows and high ceilings. The front door leads via an entrance porch into a substantial hallway which has solid wooden flooring and is currently used as a study. A further door leads into an inner hall with stairs to the first floor. To the right-hand side is a huge open-plan living / dining room which is great for entertaining and modern family life. An open fireplace with brick surround provides a nice focal point to the room with the same original solid wood flooring flowing throughout. A set of sliding doors lead out to the wonderful conservatory, which provides a lovely spot to enjoy the garden all year around. The kitchen, which also overlooks the garden, is fitted with a range of wall and base units with worktop over and tiled splashback. There is space for a breakfast bar and a number of integrated appliances including electric double oven, 4 ring electric hob and extractor with space for a freestanding dishwasher. Adjoining the kitchen is a handy utility room, which has a door leading out the garden. There is an additional sink and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge / freezer. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to four bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from fitted wardrobes. Bedroom 2 is another large double room with dual aspect windows. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are good sized single rooms with bedroom 3 benefitting from a large eaves storage cupboard. The family bathroom is finished with wood effect flooring and features a panelled bath with shower over, pedestal basin and towel radiator with a further eaves cupboard providing storage. A separate WC adjoins the bathroom.

The property has double glazing throughout and mains gas central heating with a boiler located in the garage. There is a large loft space which is currently used for storage and is part-boarded with lighting.

The size of the property will more than satisfy most but for those looking to add space and value to this fantastic house there is plenty of potential with planning permission in place to demolish and build a new home of 450 sqm (4,840 sq ft). Details can be provided on request and are openly available on the Sevenoaks Planning Portal (reference 23/00228/FUL Demolition of dwelling and erection of new dwelling).

OUTSIDE
The property is situated in a lovely residential setting with wide verges and cherry trees lining both sides of the road. A tarmac driveway provides off-road parking for 2 vehicles and leads to the integral garage. There is a pretty front garden mostly laid to lawn with numerous flowering plants and shrubs, set behind a low ragstone wall. A combination of neat hedging, timber and chain linked fences mark the boundaries to the garden with a gated pathway running down the right hand side of the house providing direct access to the rear.

The delightful back garden is approximately 120 feet in length. The plot itself slopes downwards at the rear and has been landscaped with two areas of lawn offering plenty of space for children to play. To the immediate rear of the house is a pathway with a set of steps that lead down into the main garden. There are well stocked beds filled with a wide variety of herbaceous shrubs, flowers and bushes with mature hedging and a number of specimen trees. A garden pond is currently filled with carp and a new contemporary raised pond with glass viewing window has been installed. At the very rear of the garden is a decked seating area and construction has started to install a swimming pool but is currently unfinished.

The overall plot measures approximately 0.2 acres.
